It's still early days, but setting up Ravens out-of-school club has been a rollercoaster of a ride so far.
After submitting our business plan to the local Early Years Development and Childcare Partnership, I did not hear anything, even after sending an enquiry. We had all been so excited and hopeful. I was trying, not very successfully, to think of other ways we might be able to raise funds when the news came - we have been approved for a grant of 13,000! We're delighted and terrified.
